Comments Thread For: Haye: I Will Inflict as Much Damage as Humanly Possible

slugfest? OR snoozefest?

I think alot of people on this board are severly underestimating Haye and that Klit will blow him out of the water. Thats BS. This will be a tough fight for both.

The Klitschko fans mostly seriously under-estimate Haye and the Haye fans almost all seriously over-estimate him. Haye is far from being a bum - he's ranked #3 in the division for a reason; but he's not in Wlad's league either. Nevertheless he does have a combination of power, speed and explosiveness that Wlad hasn't had to face since the Sanders fight, and you may well be right that he will manage to give Wlad some seriously uncomfortable moments and might even be able to get a KD at some point, although I very much doubt he will. But his chances of actually winning are minuscule. And even his chances of getting a KD are fairly slim because of his poor defence. To land a clean power punch he'll have to get past that jab and he hasn't shown so far that he has the tools to do that.
